Since this is a women's watch, I should mention that this is not a dainty watch at all. The face of the watch is ~1 + 1/8" in diameter, the height of the watch (when you place it face up on a table) is ~1/2". The leather straps themselves are about 1/16" think -- the thickest I've seen for a watch. The watch is also somewhat heavy. However, that being said, it does have a very feminine and yet sturdy look to it. The hour and minute hands glow in the dark. The sheath behind the watch doesn't slide off by itself because the metal clip at the end of the leather strap is too large -- you'll either need tools or a watch-smith to take it off for you. Note that since this looks like an older version (the Oakley website no longer sells these colors), the watch battery may either be dead or dying by the time you get it. Overall this is a beautiful and sturdy watch.

The sweater isn't quite what I thought it would be. I am 5'4" and 135lbs -- I ordered a medium and it was a big. The amethyst color isn't the light purple I saw on my screen -- it's more of a deeper, yellower purple. Also, the sweater started pilling right out of the box. My washing machine is a top-load and not a side-load, so I'm worried about it pilling and stretching out of control. The yarn is also somewhat prickly and coarse -- not fine and fluffy like I'd imagined. All of this being said, it is *extremely* warm.

This top is ridiculously soft and warm. I wear a Medium in just about everything I own but I'm only an A cup. I ordered a small and the fit was fine -- snug and body hugging, good for a base layer -- and did I mention ridiculously warm? However, what's up with the arm seams? There are several unnecessary (IMHO) seams along the arms. The seams are chunky underneath the shirt and rubbed against my skin. I actually had to return this shirt because of the arm seams. Will be looking for another Icebreaker Body Fit 260 item instead.

I was very skeptical of these at first, but after I wore them I loved them! I have a 39" hip and the size 8 was a perfect fit -- tight but flattering tight, not the she's-in-denial-she-needs-a-larger-size tight. They really do stretch! I can do splits in these! I'm 5'4" and the regular was a little too long -- as the pants weigh down over the course of a day the pant legs hit the floor. The rise looks low on the photos but it's not scary low -- maybe one to two fingers below the navel, depending on how high you pull them. If only they had more -- I'd buy one in every color.

These flips are super comfortable. Took a while to break into them though, but man is the leather soooooo soft. A word about the fit: the Chaco flip would probably work best for someone with narrow feet. My feet are between narrow and wide -- if they were any wider they'd "overflow" off the flips. Also, there's a weird rebound feeling when I walk in these -- there isn't a whole lot of cushion and I feel an odd recoil in my knees and hips every time I take a step. But, I love the way they feel on the foot. I'm a size 8 in everything and a size 8 in this fits perfectly.

The size 8 felt a lot more like a size 6. The fabric was pretty light weight. The inseam was just long enough to be decent but short enough to reveal some legs. Would have kept it if the size was correct. For reference, I'm 5'4" and 135 lbs.

I liked the design of this shirt, but it does run large. Size yourself according to the sizing chart -- I'm a medium in almost everything I have but I definitely should be a small for Icebreaker. I also bought another Icebreaker cami in medium -- this one was larger than that one. The shirt itself was adequately thick, and with the shelf bra you'd have two layers of merino wool over your bust area. Overall I would have kept it if it actually fit.

I thought the shirt looked cute online, so I ordered it. But after trying it on, all I can say is I do not understand this shirt. It has a second layer over the bust area, but it's not a shelf bra, so what is its function? Also, size yourself according to the sizing chart -- I'm a medium in just about every shirt I own but a medium in this was too big....I'm 5'4" and 135 lbs.

The Nina tank has a disappointingly unflattering cut for me. Somehow, and I don't normally say this, but it really does make me look fat. The white is also plenty see through. That said, the Vaporwick works pretty well -- I wore this on a muggy day and it was SO much better than cotton.

This seems to be a flip flop for those with narrow, bony, problematic feet. The good parts: the leather was sooooo very soft and comfortable. The bad parts. First, the pair I got was asymmetric between the right and left feet, such that the left flip was fine but the right flip was too tight. (Apparently I have meaty feet. But I'm a normal sized person....) Second, the flip was not wide enough, so that my foot seemed to spill over the sides a bit. Third, the arch support was a bit too aggressive for me -- a short walk sent pains through my legs. I can see how the arch support would help if you have collapsed arches or other arch-related foot problems, but for those without these problems this feature may backfire. Fourth: the toe separator seemed to be a few millimeters too far back, such that my heel would look like it's sliding off. You may want to consider ordering a size up.
